When traveling to a new city, it is always worth doing pre-trip planning to get an idea of what attractions and photo locations there might be. Doing research on the internet, looking at post cards and calendars, perusing photo books, and looking at photos on sites like 500px and Flickr are what I usually do.
There is a new tool in my arsenal that may end up being the best. That tool is Trey Ratcliff’s new iPad app, Stuck on Earth. Quite simply, pick any location on earth and you will be able to see photos that were taken there by Trey or a myriad of other photographers. The interface is slick and beautifully designed. Best of all, it is free. I highly recommend the app for those who have iPads.
For this image taken in Rome, I didn’t need to do any research to know that the iconic Colosseum was one of Rome’s most famous tourist attractions. There are probably millions of images taken of this ancient structure but when in Rome…
This is Beautiful Len! Love this site and this shot is a fresh perspective!

Great shot Len! Nice to see a different perspective from the standard straight on shot. I especially like the sun-glow through the arches.
